didrockshey pitti, how are you?06:22
pittididrocks: much better, thanks! how about yourself?06:27
didrockspitti: did a long run yesterday evening (20kms in total). Exhausted and didn't really felt well in the end06:33
didrocksbut much better today :)06:33
pittididrocks: woow!06:33
pittididrocks: so your knees really seem back in top shape, good to hear!06:33
didrockspitti: yeah, well… they mandate stretching and I can feel them a little bit, but overall they are good :)06:34

didrockswell done08:07
willcookeoh, btw seb128 - once you get the Snappy image started TheMuso has offered to help.08:08
seb128oh, nice08:08
willcookeWe had a chat last week, but we're not 100% sure what he can do, but he's keen to get involved08:09
willcookeso we'll work it out as we go08:09
seb128k08:09
pittihmm, any news wrt. fixing shotwell? this has sat in -proposed for quite a while and holds up the libgphoto transition08:21
pittiit also has a block-proposed tag08:21
pittiperhaps we could remove it from -proposed for the time being, and reupload a fixed version once the issues with the window border got fixed?08:22
Laneyjust saw Robert's reply08:23
Laneydoes that mean he's not working on fixing it?08:23
seb128Laney, pitti, didn't he upload a fix yesterday?08:24
pittiseb128: ah, then not for the test08:25
LaneyI didn't notice the version, just that the test still doesn't pass08:25
seb128what test?08:25
seb128no, I don't think he's aware there is a test issue08:25
pittihttp://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/wily-adt-shotwell/28/ARCH=amd64,label=adt/console08:25
seb128he uploaded a fix for the decoration08:25
pittihe should have gotten a CI notification08:26
pittiautopilot.exceptions.StateNotFoundError: Object not found with name 'GtkToolButton' and properties {'label': 'Import _All'}.08:26
seb128right08:26
pittiI suppose the new upstream version changed the layout or button naming or something similar08:26
seb128but jenkins often sends noise08:26
seb128so knowing robert I wouldn't be surprised if he just assumed that was noise08:26
seb128I can have a look if you want08:27
pittithat would be great; unless it's a complete rearrangement of the UI, I suppose updating the button label already ought to suffice08:27
seb128k, let me look08:27
pittimerci !08:28
pittigood to know that the header bar issue is fixed now (the block-proposed bug)08:28
pittiseb128: btw, run it against wily, not wily-proposed; it could be that the wily-proposed libgphoto2 also breaks the test (the umockdev record might need updating), that's something I can do08:32
pittibut it started failing with the old libgphoto (the button name issue)08:32
seb128pitti, ok08:32
larsuLaney: my terminal profiles stopped working again :(08:44
larsudo you know anything about that?08:45
Laneyno08:45
Laneywhat command?08:45
larsugnome-terminal --app-id de.uebernic.terminals.irssi --profile=Irssi08:45
larsuin a .desktop file08:45
LaneyOH08:45
larsubut unity doesn't recognize it as a separate app08:45
Laneyit still launches?08:46
larsuyes, launches correctly08:46
LaneyI think I broke the app-id thing08:46
LaneyI thought that it didn't work08:46
larsubut the terminal launcher item is highlighted08:46
larsuyou did08:46
larsu_GTK_APPLICATION_ID(UTF8_STRING) = "org.gnome.Terminal"08:46
Laneyso I was like fuck this shit it doesn't work why even have this08:46
Laneyand deleted some code08:46
Laney:)08:47
larsu...08:47
larsuwe have this for nice people like didrocks (and me)08:47
didrockslarsu: "very" nice08:47
didrocksplease08:47
Laneyif you put --disable-factory in there does it work?08:47
larsudidrocks: sorry. exceptionally nice08:47
didrocks:)08:47
LaneyI think I have to make --app-id do the custom terminal server thing too08:48
larsuLaney: ya. It even sets the correct app-id in that case08:48
Laneyindeed08:48
larsuwhere did you make that change? In the wrapper?08:48
Laneyyes08:48
larsucan you pretty please revert it?08:49
LaneyI forgot the case where people have their own .service files08:49
Laneyno08:49
LaneyI'll fix it but it won't be a revert08:49
larsuright, fine by me :)08:49
larsuneed help?08:49
Laneynope08:49
larsuthanks!08:49
Laneyargh08:50
Laneyvim-youcompleteme has somehow broken08:50
Laney9999 errors when doing almost anything08:51
* Laney installs it via the archive instead, works again08:52
larsuwhat's that?08:52
Laneyomnicomplete thing08:52
larsuah08:52
Laneyhttps://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/blob/master/README.md08:52
larsuseems much more elaborate thatn the built-in completion08:54
Laneyya it's nice08:54
LaneyI didn't set up the clang stuff yet08:54
Laneybut the non smart completion is already pretty ok08:54
Laneylarsu: can you share a g-t .service file?09:04
darkxstLaney, hey, what about gnome-system-monitor you were talking about last night?09:05
Laneyhi darkxst09:07
Laneyyou got a review on your no headerbar patch09:07
larsuLaney: sure http://paste.ubuntu.com/11387868/09:08
Laneyta09:09
LaneyI hope dbus is watching this directory and I don't have to restart or anything09:09
darkxstLaney, I though that was already upstream? certainly did not get an email of review though09:09
darkxstLaney, not going looking though, having a break atm09:10
Laneynm, I will fix it, simple enough09:10
darkxstLaney, I'm just a little overloaded with everything atm, legal battles, working almost for slave labour and trying to finish my thesis, might not be around much this cycle09:15
Laneydarkxst: OK, no worries, take care of your stuff09:18
LaneyWe will go 3.16 with most things, hopefully Noskcaj or someone can do shell & friends09:19
* Laney donates to the darkxst defense fund09:19
Laneylarsu: try lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-terminal/ubuntu please?09:21
darkxstLaney, that should be offense fund, $700AUD per/hour ;( just to fight my ex for what I deserved09:21
darkxstits not like I am in trouble with the law, lol09:22
Laneyoh right!09:22
larsuLaney: getting a debsign error09:26
larsuusually that's a warning and it build the package anyway09:26
Laneypass -us -uc09:27
larsuI guess with a -- when using bzr bd?09:28
LaneyI always forget if you need that or not :(09:28
larsuI did and it worked, thanks09:28
LaneyI have DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-us -uc" in ~/.devscripts09:28
larsuI had this at some point... not sure what happened09:29
didrocksyeah you need -- as you pass parameters to dpkg-buildpackage09:30
larsuLaney: anyway, package works like a charm. Thanks for the quick fix!09:30
larsudidrocks: it's a bit weird, because usually "--" means "the rest of the args are file names"09:31
didrockslarsu: hum, not for quite some commands, it's more "pass those parameters to anything we spawn" when you use a wrapper09:31
darkxstlarsu, no usualy "--" mean the rest of the args are passed through to the underlying process09:32
Laneygit-buildpackage doesn't need it09:32
Laneyso I get confused09:32
larsuapparently it means verious things then :)09:35
Laneyalso I'm getting extreme packet loss to and on this VPS09:35
darkxstgit-buildpackage namespaced their own commands, so they don't need it09:35
Laney56 packets transmitted, 5 received, 91% packet loss, time 55281ms09:35
didrocksLaney: but 91% of them were bad, it's some kind of jungle life, only the strongest resists :)09:35
* Laney moves to the hood09:35
darkxstlarsu, never heard your arguments about filenames before09:35
darkxstbut generally the stuff after "--" gets passed straight through the wrapper script to the actual process09:35
larsudarkxst: git works that way, as do most gnu utilities09:40
larsu`rm -- -f` removes a file named -f09:40
Laneylarsu: thanks for testing, will upload this fix along with gnome-terminal 3.16 probably09:40
larsuthanks09:40
Laneyshould be this week09:40
* Laney checks if it requires *cough*09:40
larsuworks for me - I'll just continue using this package until then09:40
Laney3.10 \/ o \/09:40
darkxstlarsu, I suspect in that case rm get passed those arguments directly, the only thing you win is not having to quote the -09:40
larsudarkxst: this is not a feature of the shell. rm needs to pass the single -- itself. It simply doesn't interpret anything following the -- as an argument anymore09:41
larsubut yeah, you don't gain much09:41
Laneyoh I lost my connection to $other_irc_network09:42
* Laney plays the "find the window irssi is outputting status messages to" game09:42
larsuLaney: 1?09:42
LaneyI don't have a status window09:42
Laneyit's window 50 this time!09:43
larsuoh can you close that?09:43
* larsu always leaves it open at 109:43
LaneyI probably did this 10 years ago09:43
Laneybut yes, somehow09:43
larsuhaha09:43
LaneyAuthentication failure09:43
Laneygreat09:43
darkxstlarsu I did not say that was a feature of the shell09:44
larsudarkxst: it sounded like it when you said "rm gets passed those arguments"09:45
larsuLaney: new pw?09:45
darkxstlarsu it gets a string deprive of shekl globbing and what not09:47
darkxstshell09:47
larsuright, but -- is not part of that09:48
darkxstthe majority of wrapper scripts then pass the straight though09:48
darkxstbut really I don't care to argue on this, I supposed to be taking a break09:49
Laneyffs09:49
larsuLaney: do you see overshoots? I only get undershoots...09:59
larsu(which are the ones that signify more content)09:59
LaneyI don't think they have a default style, or at least a noticable one10:00
larsuin Adwaita, I mean10:00
larsuah! You only get them when using a touchpad10:00
larsuneat :)10:00
LaneyI see it when using the mouse wheel10:01
larsuI don't see it when using trackpoint+middle button10:01
Laneybut not page up or the arrows10:01
larsuanyhow, almost done with that10:01
LaneyI can make it quite big using the touchpad though10:01
Laneywhich looks neat10:01
larsualso, link colors10:01
Laneynice10:01
Laneytheme fixes \m/10:02
larsuif you want to review10:02
LaneyI do10:02
Laneydo you have a link to the yelp bug too?10:02

ubot5Gnome bug 749947 in General "Background uses "active" color from the theme" [Normal,New]10:03
Laneymerci!10:03
larsuLaney: orange or grey overshoot?10:19
larsuI think I'm leaning towards grey10:19
larsuorange is a bit too much10:19
Laneydon't know ...10:19
larsuturns out you're not a designer either?!10:21
Laneymaybe there's a grey-ish orange10:21
seb128what is that overshoot you are talking about?10:21
Laneynew gtk feature10:21
Laneytells you if you scroll too far10:21
larsulike on androind10:21
Laneyhttp://www.colourlovers.com/color/C5793B/Grayish_orange10:22
* larsu goes to meet dholbach for lunch. see you in a bit!10:22
Laneyis it weird to use a new kind of orange?10:22
Laneyoh ok, have fun!10:22
larsuLaney: I'd like to not introduce new colors if possible10:22
Laneyok let's get a designer to decide10:23

larsuLaney: decided on a slightly darker @bg_color for now (same as separators and grid lines)12:16
larsuand got rid of the complications from Adwaita12:16
larsuthey have two gradients, which I copied at first12:17
larsubut I think I like this subtler one more12:17
larsudesrt: morning. Didn't you say that gnome-terminal-the-launcher should block until the tab/window that was opened finished?12:20
larsubecause it doesn't do that currently12:20
desrtit should, indeed12:21
larsuokay. I'll have a look why it doesn't12:21
desrthuh.  you're right.12:22
larsuI wonder if any application should behave that way?12:22
larsuor should the launcher simply activate?12:22
desrtgedit should....12:22
desrton account of 'EDITOR=gedit git commit'12:22
larsuright, but ... devhelp? epiphany?12:22
larsuI'm not so sure...12:22
desrtthose ones, no12:22
desrtdefinitely not, in fact12:22
larsuugh12:23
larsunow it12:23
desrtgedit and gnome-terminal are 'special'12:23
larsunow it's inconsistent12:23
desrteditors have an implicit relationship with things that have executed them12:23
desrtparticularly in context of $EDITOR12:23
desrt'normal apps' don't have this relationship12:23
larsuterminals do as well?12:24
desrtgnome-terminal is special because, well, it seems to want to emulate xterm insofar as is possible12:24
desrti actually don't care about that case as much, but i thought that chpe did12:24
larsuapparently not12:25
larsusmoser does, though12:25
desrtso smoser can fix it? :)12:25
larsuwell, I wonder what's the right behaviour now..12:27
desrti'd argue that the current behaviour is the right behaviour12:28
desrtAPIs and all that jazz12:28
larsuapparently it changed12:28
desrtmy argument about gedit, for example, is based entirely on the (loose) API expected of $EDITORs12:28
larsuand man, you know the hoops we're jumping through (well, Laney is) to keep cmd line api12:28
desrtso now you have the issue of deciding if compatibility with the last 6 months is more important than compatibility with the 5 years before it12:28
desrtwe had this problem in glib once, by accident12:29
desrtwasn't pretty12:29
desrtaccidentally changed the ABI of GStaticMutex on ARM and didn't notice it for a year12:29
desrtso it was like "well... we could put it back, but then we'd break everything that was compiled in the last year...."12:29
desrtand it was just at a time that ARM was exploding in popularity12:30
desrtwe chose to stick with the new incompatible choice... in your case maybe the old incompatible choice makes sense12:30
larsunot sure12:32
larsuaccording to him, this changed in 12.04 with the switch to the client/server model12:34
larsuso, quite a while12:35
larsudesrt: apparently there's a "new client": https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74528212:40
ubot5Gnome bug 745282 in general "Add --wait option to wait for terminal to close" [Enhancement,New]12:40

NoskcajIs anyone planning to do the webkit2gtk transition/MIR? I'm pretty sure it would mean ubuntu seeding geoclue-2.0 though20:01
LaneyNoskcaj: I don't think anyone is really expecting to spend time on that this cycle20:02
Laneywhat requires it?20:02
Noskcajdevhelp and anjuta both just changed to it in debian and are stuck in proposed as a result. I was just wondering what the plans for it are20:03
LaneyI'd be up for the transition but don't know if I have space to work on geoclue-2.020:04
LaneyMaybe we could turn that off?20:05
sarnoldNoskcaj: and note that security team loooooves blink and is unlikely to accept a second webkit thingy into main.20:11
LaneyWe'd be wantin to move to wbekit2gtk20:13
Laneyhey, my touch typing is worse than I thought20:13
NoskcajOk. Would it be worth merging devhelp with it using webkitgtk so we can get 3.16?20:15
Laneysure20:15
mdeslaurwe could also perhaps drop devhelp to universe20:18
pmcgowanbregma, fwiw I am losing my indicator panel a lot suddenly today on vivid desktop20:19
bregmapmcgowan, we haven't released any changes into vivid, but losing your Panel usually means unity-panel-service or compiz is crashing20:20
pmcgowanbregma, panel-service20:20
Noskcajmdeslaur, A few things in main have a recommends on it, but that might be the easier way20:20
bregmau-p-s usually crashes because of an indicator plugin20:21
pmcgowannot sure why but lost it 3 times in a couple hours20:21
pmcgowanmight be xchat notices20:21
jdstrandNoskcaj, Laney:I'll just also put it out there that the purpose of oxide is to allow the chromium content api to get regular updates while the api to apps doesn't change. someone working on gtk[23] for oxide (we currently have qt5) would likely help everyone in the long run20:21
pmcgowanbut nothing changed Id thin20:21
pmcgowank20:21
jdstrands/gtk\[23\] for oxide/gtk[23] bindings for oxide/20:22
jdstrandobviously that isn't a short term thing, but it can neatly solve the maintenance problem for consumers of a web engine20:23
jdstrandif people are interested in that, I suggest joining oxide@lists.launchpad.net20:24
Noskcajbug 1459434 has the patch21:06
